Filter 18+

When searching for a manga / anime, sometimes a lot of hentai it poping.
How about to have a flag that will filter them out in search?
We have thought about that. The conclusion was that MAL isn't providing enough information to us.
@motokochan Do you have something to add or did you found any other solutions for this?
At this time, there isn't a good solution. There are some ways to get the data, but they'll increase requests by about 20x. That makes it a non-starter at this time.
We could start from the genre. It is parsed in Atarasahii. Only filtering 'Hentai' tag.
If we parsed the rating so we could filter it too.
We can do that only in the detailview. So of you search for an anime you will still get to see hentai in the list.
I think its only important in search.
What is we search bad words in synopsis and titles?
We could potentially block titles with the genre "Hentai". We can get that at least from the basic search results. It wouldn't cover all possible issues, but may be an option. I think the popup on the site has been expanded, as I don't recall that listed previously.
@ratan12 Can we add an option to the application to hide results with "Hentai" as a genre on search? I'll update the API to parse the genres in the search results list. Also, how will this work with AniList?
@motokochan Yes I clearly remember that I did not saw genres in the past.
We could use the exclude function.
Like this http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?q=toriko&type=0&score=0&status=0&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=0&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c%5B%5D=a&c%5B%5D=b&c%5B%5D=c&gx=1&genre%5B%5D=12
It will not show any results with hentai.
And a combination of both URLS will be even better.
http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?c[]=a&c[]=b&c[]=c&c[]=d&c[]=e&c[]=f&c[]=g&q=toriko&type=0&score=0&status=0&p=0&r=0&sm=0&sd=0&sy=0&em=0&ed=0&ey=0&c%5B%5D=a&c%5B%5D=b&c%5B%5D=c&gx=1&genre%5B%5D=12
The &gx=1 will exclude the genre.
This will output the old details without any hentai.
I tried to apply &gx=1&genre%5B%5D=12 to the just added list and looks like I couldn't find any hentai.
AniList has a setting to disable hentai everywhere. We can not acces the settings due security reasons so the user must do that on their website.
Perhaps this should be filtered client-side for consistency? That, or use API options if supported and manual filter on results if not. What do you think?
Client-side will cause the app to make multiple requests if there are many hentais because the screen doesn't get filled which will trigger the scroller.
Api side is recommended
